Things I'm Loving This Week..

Hi there! I hope you all had a fantastic week!

 

Please tell me that I am not the only one who is feeling a tad jealous over all of the gorgeous spring posts being done by some of my favorite bloggers.  I so want spring here, too.

 

I'm hopeful that one day, soon...maybe...if will start to feel like spring here in the northeast!

Things I'm Loving This Week...

Happy Friday everyone! I have a feeling it will be a quiet, quiet one here as my oldest has a temp of 104 degrees. Let's all say a little prayer that the rest of us don't catch this nasty virus he has!

 

I really love all of the things I found this week while online browsing!  Two of them (the bins and lamp) are actually meant for children.  Something I frequently do when shopping is to look at the kid's line from stores that I love. Often times you can get a great deal and the majority of the pieces can be used universally throughout the home.

My Favorite Christmas Ornaments - 2013

Friends, I have been scouring my favorite websites to create a definitive list of fantastic Christmas ornaments. Bonus: I noticed that many are free shipping and lots are already on sale! Which is your style?

Things I'm Loving This Week...Gift Edition

Happy day after Turkey Day friends!
 

 

I hope you all had the best and most relaxing day yesterday! We completely did. And, truth, I never even got out of yoga pants the entire day. It was fab!

 

Do you head out shopping on Black Friday? I completely do not! I prefer shopping online from the comfort (and warmth...it is freezing here) of my own home.  Which, actually is how this little series I have on Fridays got started!

 

So, here are some of my fav gift ideas for Christmas 2013. What do you all think?

Things I'm Loving This Week... (Holiday Prep Edition)

Just so you all know, my house is still decorated for late autumn...and I plan on keeping it that way for just a bit longer.

 

Don't you find this to be such an awkward time of year? You don't want to snub Thanksgiving. I mean, it really does deserve its moment, but Christmas is so grand and requires so much planning. Planning that needs to be done before Turkey Day.  Especially this year, with Thanksgiving being so late.

 

Don't fear, I'm sharing this special edition of Things I'm Loving This Week completely devoted to those essentials that need to be done prior to the holiday rush.

 

1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5

 

Just a couple of notes before I head off to start my day.

 

First of all, why do I not own that CB2 wreath? I have been pining over it for two years now. I need to make that happen.

 

Secondly, check out treat. for cards. They are unique, personal and really, really affordable. Start planning for your Christmas cards now. Here's why...last year I ran out of time and motivation and never sent out cards. I. Am. Still. Hearing. About. It. From. My. Family. Seriously, they are threatening me this year. Also, get a special little card for your love. They are customizable and truly a keepsake. It will also help you to avoid awkward situations like I have had with my own husband...like, you know...giving each other the very same cheesy card from the drug store one Christmas. Awkward. Learn from me. 

 

 

 

Enjoy your weekend!

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Things I'm Loving This Week... (Entertaining Edition)

Happy Friday friends!

 

I love a beautifully set table. You know, one that doesn't involve plastic IKEA cups and paper napkins left over from that morning's coffee run.

 

But, beautiful can still mean relaxed and attainable. I've found some great options for creating that perfect Thanksgiving table at some of my favorite stores. 

 

Check it out!

And, let me tell you. If I hadn't just spent an obscene amount of money getting new glasses for both my boys those silhouette wine glasses would so be mine! 

 

 

 

 



Things I'm Loving This Week...

Yeah for Friday! I've had a productive week with my projects and I plan on having F.U.N. this weekend. And, I think the weather may cooperate!

 

Here are some of my fav things this week...plus I notice a lot of great online sales out there...may have to make a couple of purchases!

 

Enjoy!

It is still raining here! This is unbelievable!

 

I'm off in a bit to bring my boys to their homeschool art class, then back home to clean and organize my house and work on some special projects.

 

In a couple of weeks I'll be having a sale at my house. Part yard sale of my cast off home décor items (because you know I have way too much and am always changing things up), part painted furniture/crafty item sale. I've been super busy going through all of my things this week seeing what will stay and what will go. It should make for a really fun afternoon on the day of the sale!

 

Here are my fave things I have found this week online. I really, really think I need to get that pillow for my living room. The colors are perfect for fall (and yes, I am thinking that far ahead!)

Happy Friday!

 

I've had a crazy, crazy busy week. My garage is packed with furniture to be painted (mostly custom) and tomorrow I'll be making another delivery to Village Primitives in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. I'm betting that when I'm driving there I will see the set up beginning for Brimfield. Exciting stuff! Anyone going to the spring show?

 

 

Here are my favorites things that I've found this week. I hope you love them, too!

[Project Notebook] Color Trend: Marigold Yellow

I'm no stranger to decorating with bold marigold (as I've recently seen it described) or mustard seed yellow.

 

Remember my gossip bench from last year? You can check it out in my fall entryway here. That was actually my most popular post ever!  And my $24.99 gold thrift store chair has been a comfy staple in my living room since I brought it home close to a year ago.

A hedgehog planter? Yes, I need it immediately. And probably some twig candles, too.

 

Have a great weekend!

I seem to be craving color lately (even though when I look outside everything is still covered in snow). How about you?

Adding Pattern & Texture in the Living Room

     

Did you all have a good weekend? We spent our time running errands to catch up on all the things that didn't get done last week when I wasn't feeling well. 

  

It was such a huge relief to have our big Trader Joe's run done and put away before our date night on Saturday (it was insane in there with all the Super Bowl party shoppers)! My youngest, Gennaro, is allergic to many foods and that store is just a lifesaver for him.  His staples at TJ's are rice milk and sunflower seed butter. Do any of you or your little ones suffer from food allergies?  It can be a pain, especially when eating out.

 

Anyway, I was recently lured in by some after Christmas sales and made a couple of purchases for the living room.

 

 

My Thanks and Giving Owl

Gorgeous owls and helping children with cancer.

Every fall I try to make a purchase for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® Thanks and Giving® campaign.

A Collected Autumn Corner

My fall decorating continues, and this past week a tackled this black shelf and dresser that's in the corner of our living room.  I know it's odd to have a dresser in the living room, but you know how it goes when you live in an old house--no storage--so this piece of furniture works perfectly for us as a place to store dvds and extra blankets.
